Shrine Stamp

Putting our own unique stamp on to our home is something that we have all dreamed of doing since our very early childhood days. From our very young growing up days when we used to make tree houses and dens in the woods we always knew exactly what it was that we wanted in our little temporary hide away. In those days the only cost involved in the manufacture of our wooden dens was the chores that we had to do to barter the cost of the left over wood from some ones back yard. As we grow up and we leave home we realize that life is not always as simple as beginning our neighbours for left over pieces of timber so we can make our little hide away, the harsh reality of the financial burden that is forced upon us when it comes to having our own home is a shock.

Making our home our own is something that we are always striving for; the decoration, the design and the planning of the home are constantly changing with the current interior design fashion of the day. Usually our homes are shared with our partners who do not always share our passion for individuality and hence we have to compromise on certain features, the shrine to your past that is your record collection is usually one of the first things to get shot down in flames. So how can you add your own little piece of individuality to a home that may be shared by others who do not necessarily share your tastes?

The first thing to do is to be subtle with what you are trying to achieve, there is no point at all in trying to go from a corner of the home that used to be a family room suddenly being turned into a games room, that will not go down well at all. Look to add you stamp to parts of the home that are a little less obvious, a study, a loft or even the garage. These are rooms that are likely to be frequented more by you that your partner and so should be less contentious than other rooms, depending on what you choose to do in the rooms of course.

Decorating one of these areas of the house to your taste can be a good way to add your stamp to it, do this well and with a bit of thought and creativity and you may even receive plaudits for your efforts. Using a bit of artistic effort does not have to be out of your reach as you may think. Much of the look is determined by the furniture that you use with in the room, there are many styles to choose from so make sure you choose correctly. Black and white photographic prints are readily available from most periods of the recent past and when used correctly can create unique look that is hard not to be impressed with.

If you get the opportunity to dress out your garage how you please then this design style can be used to create a bar room feel to the room without having to go to all of the expense of furnishing it as such. With suitable flooring as well as a couple of chairs and tables for relaxing at you should be able to create your shrine to your old records as well as create a room that looks pretty good with a unique interior design theme, you never know you might even be allowed to put in that pool table that you have always wanted.
